Depressing

This morning I awoke to discover that the UK voted to leave the EU following the vote on the Brexit. Again we see how nationalist ideas fuelled by xenophobia and fear trump the ability to see beyond protectionism. It is depressing in this day and age that we continue to see the rise of xenonphobic parties that prey on fear rather than hope. It is too easy to give into fear which fosters distrust and hatred and harder to build rather than destroy.
